Men’s rights activist edits out all scenes with women in ‘The Last Jedi’

An anonymous men’s rights activist has edited the latest Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, and removed all scenes featuring women. Since the movie’s release, there has been a group of supposed Star Wars fans upset with the way the film turned out; from their perspective, classic characters like Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) don’t get their due, and there is too much focus on female characters they deem superfluous.

Even within the men’s rights activist community, there was division over the edits. While some lauded them, others were conflicted. Some Reddit users (where the majority of the anonymous naysayers can be found) questioned the necessity of the recut, with some saying it “just makes no sense.”

The creator of the edited version even seemed to question his own work.

“You will probably enjoy it most when you view it less as a blockbuster movie and more as some kind of episode from some non-existent mediocre Star Wars series,” the creator said. He went on to acknowledge faults in his product. “There are plot holes and continuity errors.”READ MORE: Ashleigh Banfield, HLN host, has harsh words for Aziz Ansari’s accuser

Among the big cuts: Laura Dern’s Admiral Holdo is completely removed from the movie, meaning the “Holdo Maneuver” is carried out by Oscar Isaac’s character Poe Dameron, who then dies; General Leia doesn’t chastize Poe Dameron, and she’s ultimately killed by Kylo Ren; Captain Phasma gets beaten by Finn in one hit because “women are naturally weaker than men,” Rey doesn’t have the strength of The Force, and Paige Tico (sister to Kelly Marie Tran’s Rose) doesn’t heroically take out the enemy ship to lead off the movie.

Director Rian Johnson had a very simple and telling reply to the edit.
